So the ColdFusion Admin API doesn't have a method to set a JNDI datasource (such as those created in jrun-resources.xml then added to admin)

@lolajl Maybe, but they are their own boss, and I haven't posted the embarring ones (yet).

Hrm. When someone untags themselves from a Facebook photo, I guess it means they really didn't like that photo.

@javierjulio The mx:Image sourceChangeEffect thingy will be useful for future projects since I already completed my (unpublshd) photog site.

@fuzzyorange I had some exp as CF8 QA testingLCDS DataManagement EventGateway. Seems like LCDS is still niche for most CFers
Tue Sep 01 5:06 PM
If LCDS can automatically integrate with Hibernate (bypassing need for an Assembler), can it directly integrate with ColdFusion 9 ORM? Hrm.
Tue Sep 01 4:57 PM
Lots of LCDS reading today. Need to present on LCDS DataManagement with ColdFusion at RIA Unleashed (Please god give LCDS an Admin!)

@styggiti Each PW Flex TT5 is about $220. (PW+ = $175) FlexTT5's TTL let you worry less about flash exposre in tough situations (weddings)
Tue Sep 01 2:23 PM
Decided to not read more of Enterprise Flex from O'Reilly bc their BlazeDS modding / hacking distracts me from learning actual LCDS better.
Tue Sep 01 2:21 PM
@styggiti @robwilkerson However, I'm now very happy with PocketWizard FlexTT5 radio control of TTL flash, esp when using multiple flashes
Tue Sep 01 2:19 PM
@styggiti @robwilkerson Nikon's CLS flash system offers more control from the camera over remote flash & flash ratios than Canon
